its a Chinese word made of two of the same kanji or chinese character (there are people in here who would probably say its also used in Japanese but this certain Kanji is not actually in the Japanese language). this kanji standing alone would means happiness, but put together means double happiness. The Chinese believe that if they hung lanterns with "double happiness" written on it, then it may bring their families happiness.

It means happiness, and since the Japanese and the Chinese use the same system of characters (or kanji), they mean the same thing in both languages.
However, this isn't always the case.

Diana K is the only one with a good response. This is two instances of the character for happiness merged together. In English, we call it double happiness. This is a very happy symbol in Chinese. and is very commonly used for weddings and other happy occasions. It is also the name of a huge company, and all of its products are identified as double happiness.

It means happiness, and it's kanji, meaning it could be Japanese or Chinese, since they both use kanji in their writing systems.
